Is there a way to stream live tv

Willow

We don't have cable. But I would like to watch the Playoffs on my Plasma and not my PC. Can I and how do I stream it live from say CBC.ca. I have a PS3 and I also have the ps3 media server. (PS3 can'
t load the content directly from the site) . Thanks in advance. BTW I'm using WIN7.

TV tuner card in the PC with a direct connection in the plasma? Since over the air broad cast is copyrighted, there are not many solutions...

Kind of what I did, I don't have HDMI on my avr it went right to TV. So I watched it but the sound came from the laptop speakers. I know a sin but it was I could do at the time.

Look into Air Parrot software and an Apple TV for the newest gen 3 Apple TV, or I be beige the older units can be hacked for a Windows based system.

Maybe you can get a cable like this:

Connect it to the headphone jack in your laptop and open RCA inputs on your AVR to send the sound to your AVR. Or if your AVR has a 3.5 mm input, you can just get this:

Also, your TV may have RCA audio out which you can connect to your AVR
